true but to explain a bit more the main reason NASA doesn't use pencils in space is because the graphite particles conduct electricity very well and can start fires when coming in contact with electrical components. Any astronaut's worst nightmare is to have a fire in a closed, oxygen rich environmet.

I would but I don't want to go out and buy something. I've already got everything for this and the sealants i found with the exception of beeswax.

As far as the oil goes I don't have any polishing oil or stain. Are there common substitutes like peanut oil or something of the sort?

Just did some research on this and I'll update you on how it works for me. Here are three common methods:3 part olive oil to 1 part beeswax,3 part canola oil to 1 part vinegar (I believe white),and Pure coconut oil (cold in its white solid state)
